Issue in compiling - getting error for Unplaced _section

[Rohit]

Hi team ,

I am using 15.3 sdk and NRF52832 hardware. and Tool - SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM 4.30c

I have developed code with DFU feature and and generated .hex file  - app_bootloader_and_setting.hex and DFU .zip file for application to over the air firmware update.

and its working.

Now wanted to change some part of  the code but getting following error.

I am not getting where is the cause so please any one suggest me to come out this issues.

Hi,

Now wanted to change some part of  the code but getting following error.

Which parts of the application did you change? Does it compile successfully if you revert the changes back?

It is a bit unclear from the log what is failing. Can you provide the full project for us to debug it?

Best regards,
Jørgen

[Jørgen Holmefjord]

Can you zip up the project directory, and attach it using "Insert->Image/Video/File"?

[Rohit]

ok

Hi ,

Please check this project and let me know any changes.

Thanks,

Hi ,

Any Update regarding issue?

Waiting for your response.

[Jørgen Holmefjord]

Hi, If it is the "pca10040e - Under_test" SES project you are using, the error simply comes from not allowing enough flash space to store the code. You have set the size for application to 0xF000, which corresponds to 60 kB. Your application seems to require more flash space than this. If you do not use a bootloader or need to store data in flash, you can increase the FLASH_SIZE parameter to 0x17000 for nRF52810, or even more if you intend to use the nRF52832.

[Rohit]

Hi,

Thanks for your response.
